I've seen this on one of my disks, too. It seems it's much slower in NCQ mode. I think the firmware might not utilise the disk cache properly when in NCQ mode. You can try switching it off via sysctl, hw.wdX.use_ncq. You can also try to turn off use_ncq_prio if that makes any difference. We might need to introduce some heuristics for this. Jaromir
